St.George may hold the trump card.

Remember what I said last week about the petitions effecting the annexation efforts, and not the other way around?
Well, someone wrote an article on it.

That’s the only way to insure the Powers That Be can’t turn St. George into a partial-birth abortion. Once the petition is turned in, by law everything stops. It’s done. No annexations, no machinations. All that’s left is for the petition to be validated, and there is a 60-day period in which signatures may be added if necessary. If enough signatures are validated to reach a number equal or greater to 25 percent of the registered voters living in what will be St. George before July 23, the incorporation goes on the November ballot and there is nothing Kip Holden and his pals can do about it.

I don't think the SG leaders are intelligent enough, but let me spit ball here...
You are saying that they are keeping the numbers close to the chest, so that the city doesn't rush the annexation of the mall and other properties. They are playing possum and will drop the petition on the door step and halt EVERYTHING?
No annexation, no nothing until after a Nov vote? Then, if it passes, the Mall and other properties are SOL?

I'm sending the article to some friends in hopes to rush them up.
Signing a petition doesn't mean you have to vote a certain way. You can always vote No if you change your mind. It isn't binding.

that would be a devastating facial if that happened in time. highly doubt this possibility is realistic tho

They need to go into the registrar of voters on Wednesday morning and drop a stack of petitions and finish this.

The people need to speak, if they don't it will be their fault.

So is it confirmed that this indeed does take place once the required signatures are turned in???
God I hope so and I hope they have the signatures... Would love to see the shite hit the fan.

I just heard the faint sound of Russians head exploding.

Again, any evidence that everything indeed goes into a freeze?

I find it hard to believe; however, if annexation of property could void such a petition drive (and there's plenty of supporting evidence for this), then such a "freeze" would make sense. Otherwise, all an opposing neighboring political subdivision would need to do is convince a property holder to request annexation after the petition was submitted to completely void the effort.

The article outlines it pretty clearly, but I'm no attorney.

I think the trump card is seeing the future.

Article gives no legal basis for any of what it claims happening... The author has an agenda and nothing of substance to back it up

Just saying you are about to get destroyed by Russian and the others for linking the Hayride as your factual basis.

Hayride is a hack site. Never backs anything up and always has an agenda.

Also:
quote:
WBRZ-TV reported Wednesday on the slapdash, hurried nature of the Mall annexation – to such an extent that it doesn’t even include the retail center’s four anchor stores…
They are being annexed. Did he not do research.
quote:
There are currently six votes in favor of those annexations at the Metro Council, and six votes opposed. Speculation abounds that a pair of those “no” votes, Trae Welch and Scott Wilson, might be soft enough to flip on Wednesday.
Speculation.
quote:
The organizers aren’t saying how many signatures they have, but they’re obviously very close to the required number of signatures to put the incorporation on the ballot.
Obviously.
quote:
Tuesday night at a meeting of the incorporation effort’s supporters, one of the organizers of the effort said that at the current rate they’re going they’d be finished in four to six weeks.
They've been saying this for a while.
quote:
So there are basically five days to reach the finish line and trump the Baton Rouge power elite’s efforts to stymie democracy
They can't get the signatures. Out of a population of 100,000 they can't get 18,000.
quote:
it’s about whether people have the right to vote on it or if it’s OK for the politicians, lawyers and entrenched elite to engage in back-door deals to thwart the public will.
Again, the public doesn't seem willing to even call and have the petition delivered. They are twarting themselves.
To add a question:
Will doing this stop the annexation of Celtic? Or did that already happen?

That's a significant distinction from the example you gave.
